Quilts of Love #5
Threads of Hope
Passed over for promotion and dumped by her boyfriend, Nina O'Malley is further frustrated when her editor assigns her one of the "soft" stories she despises--covering a gala benefit supporting the AIDS Memorial Quilt. More determined than ever to prove she deserves a promotion to the NY office, Nina decides to write a series featuring a local quilting group raising money for AIDs research.
At the event, she runs into her high school nemesis: Greg is a widower and the adoptive father of Jazarah, an HIV positive girl from Ethiopia. Unlike Nina, Greg has faith in a loving God, and he trusts in God's plan for his life.
Greg and Nina grow closer, and as Nina interviews the quilt families, she begins to question the choices she has made and her lack of faith. Nina suddenly finds herself facing two possible dreams, two paths for her life.

Started off amazing then flew straight into horrible.

Christian Contemporary Romance
This story is both an entertaining love story and an educational documentary on HIV and aids. Sprinkled throughout the pages of love and loss is information to help educate the reader and distinguish between facts and fiction regarding this horrible disease.
The narration was good. I was curious why the nanny still sounded so African when she was adopted by an American family when she was a teen. Many people loose their distinguishing tongue after so many years in America.

This book was very informative and inspirational. I was in my early years in the Navy when AIDS and HIV first made the headlines. I've never met anyone personally afflicted, but the characters made me feel as if they could have been acquaintances, friends or family. The little girl was cute.
I find it interesting that the names of the two suitors were Greg and Brady.
I read this at the same time the Coronavirus became a worldwide concern.

This is book 5 in a series. I enjoyed the previous four, but this one barely kept me interested. The saving grace was the information on childhood aids and memorial ideas. Other than that, the characters were shallow and the plot quite predictable. I am hoping book 6 is good.

learned much more about AIDS & how many people react.

Who hasn't felt the sting of being passed up for a promotion by someone who has worked for the company less than you have? But what's even worse is having the man you were dating dump you and go out with the person who just got "your" promotion as well!
Meet Nina O'Malley, journalist for Trends magazine who has once again had to paste on the gracious smile of sincerity when dealing with Janie Bettencourt, who just score the Senior Editor position and is now moving from Houston to New York for the job. The job that should have been hers. Her boss, reminded her that she needed to get out of her comfort zone more and network. To add some passion and style to her writing despite the fact all she got handed were smaller stories from her editor.
It seems like Nina just needs to realize that she is the only one holding her back and begin to take the initiative to change the things in her life that she wishes were different. Right now the only thing that waits for her at home is her dog, Manny and her roommate Aretha. Even her only friend in the office Daisy Jeffers seems to be making a move out of the office. Nina finds a note from her to Janie asking her if there are any positions available in New York. Seems like the only people that aren't leaving Nina are the ones that have no other place to go.
In the novel, Threads of Hope by Christa Allan, from the Quilts of Love series, takes the reader in the life of Nina O'Malley that has a permanent seat in the "pity party for one." Unless she can break out of her rut, she will stay in the same job, doing the same thing while everyone else around her moves on and moves ahead. Even her love life is suffering, so what's a woman to do? That is just the premise behind this latest novel. It seems that even growing up, Nina was only part of the popular girls click because she was able to help them with their homework. When she refused to do the work for them, she soon found out who her real friends were after all. Nina's about to find out that she needs to be more upfront with what she wants and follow it up with action.
I received Threads of Hope by Christa Allan compliments of Abingdon Press Publishers and Christian Fiction Blog Alliance for my honest review and received no monetary compensation for a favorable one. I could see so much of myself in Nina's character and even found our childhood situations very much alike. It often takes a good hard knock in your life to make you take the initiative and break out of your situation. The fact that Nina settles for so many things makes you look at her life and see the easy way out. She settles instead of simply trying harder and even standing up for herself because she fears what others may say. She avoids confrontation at all costs and looks for excuses to get out of things that may have a risk involved such as dinner with her family every Sunday. She wishes deep down inside to say the things she wants but instead just offers the customary, "I'll be there." This is an interesting look at how Nina breaks out and what is the catalyst for her doing so. I can't spoil it for you, but if you can relate to this situation you'll definitely want to pick this one up. I rate it a 4 out of 5 stars.

Nina O'Malley is not likeable, but that's ok, because the story is about her journey to "letting go" of past snubs and slights and of distrust of everyone and their motives. She has learn that it isn't always all about her; that people have their own hurts and worries and insecurities and the book does a good job of getting her there.
A journalist in Texas, Nina is interested in investigative reporting, not the fluffy "feel good" human interest stories. Her dream is to head to New York and make things happen for herself in the world of journalism. That dream was crushed when her co-worker and rival co-worker got the dream job along with Nina's former boyfriend.
When Nina's editor assigns her to do a story about an upcoming benefit for the AIDS Memorial, she is not happy; but she sees the assignment as a way to make her way back to the top of the heap and get that promotion after all. She doesn't have to like or care about the assignment. She can fake it with all she's got. She wasn't counting on running into an old high school classmate, Greg. Greg was the kind of popular guy who didn't look at her twice except to join in the laughter and taunting when she had an unfortunate incident in the school cafeteria. And that laughter and taunting has haunted her for years. No way is she going to look at this guy twice. Payback time.
The story does a good job of illustrating how holding past grudges and unpleasant memories can keep a person from moving forward. It also does a good job of bringing to light the wonderful quilting groups who raise money for AIDS.
What just made this a mediocre read for me was the actual writing. It was as if the author knew the background story and didn't bother to share it with the reader, or the author wanted there to be a background story but just didn't have a firm idea herself of what it was.
It was clear that Nina and her parents, especially Nina and her mother, did not have a good relationship; but it wasn't really explained. It was also mentioned a few times that Nina was an outcast in school, staying under the radar when she could. Again, that part of the story was left blank. It was also mentioned that Nina had had a romantic relationship with co-worker Brady (the one who went off to New York with the Nina's rival) and he dumped her. Yet, I never got the sense that there really was a relationship between the two. Again, no background details. It would have been better not to mention of these things since they never really tied in to the story. The missing parts made the flow of the plot seem disjointed and sloppy.
Finally, and this is just a pet peeve and has no bearing on my rating of the story, Nina's friend and roommate Aretha just happened to date a guy named Franklin. Oh, I don't know...maybe that's funny, but I just found it to be worthy of an eye-roll and a thought of "REALLY? That's all you could come up with?"

Nina O'Malley is a journalist with Trend magazine in Houston, Texas. She is the owner of one small dog, Manny, the daughter of the critical, controlling and possibly neurotic Shelia, and the employee of Elise, owner of the magazine, who doesn’t think she has the capability to be promoted to lead the New York office. Greg Hernandez and his wife adopted an AIDS baby from Ethiopia, Jazarah. Lily was killed in a car accident, so Greg has moved back to Houston to be closer to his sister, Elise.
In an effort to prove herself to Elise, Nina decides to write a series of articles about the AIDS Memorial Quilt, the largest piece of community folk art in the world, weighing over 54 tonnes. In the process, she meets the relatives of several people who have died of an HIV-related condition, as well as meeting Jazarah. But then Nina has to decide what is more important: her career, or Greg.
The beginning was a bit uncertain, in that it seemed as though something was missing. And the end skipped forward in time, leaving a significant chunk of the plot in the gap between two chapters. There were also editing errors, such odd changes between past and present tense, and a disconcerting switch from third to first person (which made me wonder if the novel wasn’t originally written entirely in first person, then changed to third person to include scenes from Greg’s viewpoint).
The idea behind Threads of Hope is excellent, and the real-life information about the quilt was inspiring. I really liked the developing relationship between Greg and Nina, and the way Nina gradually changed as the story developed. But the story only really flowed well between the 40% and the 90% mark on my Kindle, and half a good book just isn’t enough.

Threads of Hope by Christa Allan
This quilts of love story is based around the Aids Quilt. Each section is made and assembled at a location where others help and tag who contributed.
Nina O'Mallery is hoping this will be her big break-the story with her investigative skills will come out and allow her to be granted the NY job. She and Aretha will be going to this huge $400 a ticket gala event. Her boss will also go but not to work.
Greg Hernandez life has been a long and troubled one as his wife has lost many babies along the way. He is a vet. He is involved in the project and helps many others with the Aids quilt. His daughter is also HIV+ and there is a bit of talk about the drugs she takes to maintain her life.
Project is called 'we care' and Nina will cover those who help put the quilt together-Greg's crew.
It took me a bit of time to get into this book as there is a lot of work drama but once I got through that and into the real story it is a good one. Not only will Nina have a choice there are many things she will have to consider along the way.
Not only her career but her faith in God is up for grabs.
Love how Nina sticks up for herself and her idea when the boss is ready to hand the story to another reporter.... What happens next is on the fast track and she learns about her brother's death from her parents. She has the answers now and why she stopped praying to God...
Love the ending and how the quilt panels are made, and all the information about them. Also a sample chapter of A Healing Heart, next in the Quilt of Love series.
To me this whole series is a panel in itself with a story behind every panel.
I received this book from Abingdon Press in exchange for my honest review.

I enjoyed this book but not as much as Christa's other novels. I felt that the character Nina was extremely overly paranoid when it came to her interactions with her friends and co-workers. And while I know from personal experience that the teases and taunts you receive in school stay with you, it seemed that the interaction with Greg was *one* incident. Had he been her consistent tormentor it would have made the animosity seem more plausible but from what the story said he only really went after her for a week at best and stopped when he got no response.
I also felt that there wasn't enough to her turn to caring about the stories behind the quilt instead of using it as a jumping off point for her career. Her relationship with her parents were hard to read as is any strained parental relationship for me and I felt that a lot could have been avoided had they just ben honest with her because in a sense it was their fault she was so ignorant about a lot of things yet they seemed like the wanted to blame her for it.
It was enjoyable but like I said not one of my favorites by this author. I also felt the ending was rushed and there was a lot that could have been fleshed out, while other parts of the story trimmed down.

**may have spoilers**
This was the first book I've read by Christa Allan and I'll admit it was hard for me to get into at first. The only reason I kept reading was because it is the second to last book for me to finish The Quilts of Love series. However, the book picked up and did get better as the story continued. The one thing that did bother me, and maybe this is because of my job, but Nina's automatic assumption that her brother, Thomas, who died from AIDS was also automatically gay. It was quick read and for me, that is great because I needed something quick to unwind with after work.
One thing that really bothered me was the quote, "To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discovery that the prisoner was you", that the author attributed to Corrie Ten Boom (who is awesome) but it was actually said by Lewis B. Smedes. While in the grand scheme of the book it doesn't break it, it does speak to the fact that we can't believe everything we read.
I also read another review that disliked the book because the reader stated that Aretha's boyfriend's name was Franklin, his name is actually Luke Samuelson.

I thought this book was much better than book 3 in this series (Path of Freedom), but it has flaws. I listened to the Audible version in the “Included� portion of my plan, so I don’t have a Kindle or hardcopy to check to see if errors occurred there, as well. In the narration, the reader sometimes said Athena for the Aretha character. The transitions from one scene to another were abrupt. Sometimes in a print copy there’s a space between paragraphs to show a scene transition. If those exist in the print or digital version, the reader took no notice of them and just kept on reading as if it was all the same scene. It was disconcerting the first few chapters, then I either grew accustomed to it or the author did a better job of writing the scene transitions. Until the last chapter. Wow! That was one abrupt ending. Head still spinning.

This is a hard book to rate. It's probably more 3.5 than 4 stars. This first part of the book is somewhat slow and hard to follow. Nina, the main character is not very likable --- mainly because of the everybody-is-out-to-hurt-me attitude. I enjoyed Greg the hero of the story. The storyline was good, but it felt more like a novella. Rushed. The last 20+/- pages were the best part of the book --- without them I would have given it a 3 star rating. The ending was good --- more like an epilogue than an ending.

I like books with a cause, and I enjoyed learning about the AIDS memorial quilt. However, the same information about the quilt, the project, and AIDS was repeated several times, while the development of the romance and the re-igniting of the heroine's faith seemed rushed. The story was good but could have been developed at a better pace.

Touching
I absolutely loved this book. I am ashamed to admit I had forgotten about the AIDS memorial quilt until I read this novel. I remember hearing about it when it first started traveling the nation but have not heard much in the last few years. I am happy this book brought it back to the forefront of my mind.

June 8, 2016I really liked this story. The characters were very relatable and likeable. One thing I got out of the book was that sometimes the answers to our prayers doesn’t look like what we think they will, and that God can surprise us with the answers. I would recommend this book.

I very much enjoyed reading Threads of Hope. Nina was a great character, one I could definitely relate to. It was a quick read, but it had a very touching story.
I received a complimentary copy of this book to review. I was asked to give my honest opinion of the book - which I have done.
